616978 divided by 15 
Our goal is to divide 616978 by 15.

Going ahead to step 1:
15 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 15

On to step 2:
15 can be fit into 61 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 60 away from 61, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 15

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 16 by 15, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we subtract 15 from 16, we get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 15

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 19 by 15, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 411.0
If we subtract 15 from 19, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 15

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 47 by 15, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4113.0
Deduct 45 from 47 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 15

On to step 6:
The number 15 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41131.0
Deduct 15 from 28 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 15, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41131.8
If we take 120 away from 130, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 15, we get 6 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 41131.86
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 90 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
15 can be fit into 100 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41131.866
Deduct 90 from 100 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 41131.866, with a leftover of 0.001.
